Work-shares and members, please see our Safety Sheet by clicking here. Filled with lots of great information, it will help you while gardening at our farm and at your house.

What to do if you can't pick up your produce on your designated day.

At some point during the season, this happens to most of us. We ask that if you can't pick up your produce on your allotted day to please pick it up within two days afterwards -- Never before, as your share will not have been harvested yet. When this happens, please remember that once we have had our membership pick up, all the remaining produce is left in the cooler and will be open for sale. This means that the longer your share has not been picked up, the more likely it is that we will be running out of specific vegetables that were originally designated for your share. It is always best to have a friend or neighbor pick up your share on your assigned day to ensure that you receive all that was meant for you. Our produce is so fresh and good that you won't want to miss any of it!

From our Members

Earth-Shares CSA is a Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) organization in Loveland, Ohio, on land leased from Grailville. The majority of their 300 acres is Certified Organic by the USDA and the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA). CSA is a direct partnership between farmers who grow the food and the people who eat it. We are a not-for-profit organization that contracts with skilled gardeners to grow many types of organic vegetables. Our goal is to provide members with fresh, organic vegetables that are locally grown by our farmers.Our members pay a set fee to receive a "share" of the harvest raised on the CSA acreage that year. Some members enjoy assisting the gardeners and receive a discount for scheduled work shifts, known as a Working Share.

2014. A Bountiful Harvest.

This past season, Karen, Steve, and Mary Lu, along with our 20 workshare members and intern Travis Ward, produced an astonishing 30,492 pounds (over 13 tons!) of produce. That means this past year you took home and enjoyed more than 233 pounds of fresh, locally grown vegetables valued at $624. This is the second year of record production!

In 2013, each member received over 200 pounds of vegetables over the course of the growing season, which runs approximately 22 weeks.
